Comment from article reader Tom: "Finally an article that focuses on men's health."
I'm undertaking a two-week solo Game Jam starting Monday the 3rd of November! I'll be streaming my progress every day on my Twitch and new YouTube channel! I'll be posting the complete(?) game free on itch.io, and having a post-launch party talking about the process and final product with friends on Sunday the 16th of November! Come watch me slowly descend further into madness!
From the email: "They deserve protection from discrimination and harassment, and they deserve access to high-quality healthcare services. Thatā€™s why the Government will continue to ensure trans people retain protection from discrimination and harassment in law and will legislate in favour of a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban."
From the email: "We will look at the guidance and make sure we bring some common sense to the decision, and I hope the EHRC will too. This will not be without difficulty because whilst we now have clarity over the Equality Act, we donā€™t we donā€™t have clarity about what those who have lived as a trans person for decades, or those with a GRC, do in terms of accessing public services."
From the email: "I know Ministers in both the UK and Scottish Governments will want to carefully consider the ruling in detail. I understand the Equality and Human Rights Commission has advised it hopes to have a new statutory code of practice ready by Summer and they have issued interim guidance to implement the law. "On this, the EHRC have just opened a consultation which they will use to shape the new guidance. I strongly urge you to contribute to this. The link below will show the options on how you can contribute: "
From the email: "However, it is unclear about how this will operate given the judgement. This court ruling has brought clarity to the definition of sex within the Equality Act, but much complexity when it comes to the practical implications. ā€Æ "The calls from some groups that ā€˜The Government must reject the courtsā€™ is flawed. The court has given its verdict and we must enforce the law as it has been interpretated. We arenā€™t, and no government is, above the law and whether we agree with the judgement or not is immaterial to what we must now do. "Weā€™ve got to find solutions for the LGBT+ community and show respect for everyone."
From the email: "Thank you for contacting me about the Supremeā€ÆCourt ruling on the appeal brought by For Women Scotland.ā€Æ "In its judgment, the Supremeā€ÆCourt announced it had reached a unanimous decision that the terms ā€˜manā€™, ā€˜womanā€™ and ā€˜sexā€™ in the Equality Act 2010 refersā€Æto biological sex. It ruled that a Gender Recognition Certificate does not change a personā€™s legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act."

I open up, you pour me out. Without my vessel being filled, wonder that I don't stand beside you. I see your body's every scar in the clinical light you cast as you carve new wounds into me. Vase shards cast myriad spectra as bloody feet crush them to sand. I know I am my own flower.
